All to play for in Barcelona

04/02/12 - 11:23

As the third and final round of the 2012 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship heads to the Palau Sant Jordi stadium in Barcelona, Spain tomorrow - the fiercely contested battle for second position in the overall championship remains to be decided. While current championship leader Poland's Taddy Blazusiak - KTM needs to win just one of the evening's three SuperEnduro finals to secure the World title, it is the race for runner-up spot in the series that is set to deliver some of the most exciting racing.

Holding only a slender two-point advantage over his nearest competitor Britain's Jonny Walker - KTM is on the verge of recording his best ever finish in a FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. After a mixed opening round in Italy, the rookie sensation bounced back in Poland to secure second overall on the night behind Blazusiak.

Now sitting third in the championship Sweden's Joakim Ljunggren - Husaberg, runner up in the 2011 FIM Indoor Enduro World Championship, will arrive in Barcelona focused on beating his rival Walker. With three SuperEnduro finals and a maximum of sixty-points up for grabs, one thing that's certain is that this battle will go right down to the wire.
